Looks like Caitlyn Clark and her teammate Lexi Hull have gone viral again, breaking the internet with more footage. We’ve also got updates on WNBA ticket sales, so let’s dive right in! For this one, we’re taking a trip to Indiana – let’s get it, let’s go.
Caitlyn Clark and Lexi Hull are back in the headlines after dropping a viral video last night. Just like Caitlyn’s strong connection with Kate Martin during their time at Iowa, this new friendship with Lexi Hull is capturing fans’ hearts. It looks like Clark has found her ace, her Robin, her partner in crime, and Indiana fans are loving the way they share their day-to-day lives with everyone beyond basketball.
One thing I’m doing during this offseason is bringing you stories like this – not just basketball updates, but what Caitlyn and other players are doing off the court. Nobody’s covering these stories like I will, so I’m taking y’all with me down this rabbit hole every step of the way to stay updated on all things Caitlyn Clark and Indiana Fever.
Speaking of, let’s check out the viral TikTok video they posted. In this one, Caitlyn and Lexi hit up a coffee spot, trying out a few drinks and showing their personalities and sense of humor. Honestly, it’s great to see them enjoying normal life and sharing it with fans in such a real way. Not many athletes are this open, and Caitlyn Clark, despite all her fame, still keeps it real. That kind of humility is going to take her far, not just in the WNBA but in life.
Now, let’s talk WNBA ratings, which took a bit of a hit after Caitlyn and Angel left. I mentioned yesterday that ratings are down, but here’s the latest: while overall views are up from last year, none of the WNBA playoff games have hit 1 million viewers. Compare that to Caitlyn Clark’s last game, which averaged 2.5 million viewers and peaked at 4 million.
The WNBA is putting out articles claiming they’re killing it, but don’t be fooled – the numbers are hurting without Caitlyn. As for ticket sales, it’s a similar story. Reports are coming in from Minnesota where courtside seats for a playoff game were going for just $60, and the average ticket price was $10. This was for an elimination game to go to the finals. Compare that to when Caitlyn was playing, where tickets were going for thousands of dollars. There’s no question the WNBA is missing Caitlyn Clark’s star power.
